Maybe something like this helps you to solve your problem:
# get code via http, etc.
code = """
def blah():
print 'blah'
print 'hello'
blah()
"""
compiled_code = compile(code, 'filename', 'exec')
exec(compiled_code)
This way you could execute some code from a web client, but the client
would be able to execute any code, he could even delete your hard drive.

Hi Wayne
Thanks for your help. I was thinking of the latter but now that I think
of it, once you import a module it won't help to modify that module on
the fly later anyways, right? I would need to re-import it. Sounds like
reading it via http would be simpler.
Thanks again-Patrick

Strange question.....
Is it possible to include a module that is on another computer?
I have been day-dreaming about a project that would allow web code to
drive a desktop App.
I know of one way, using sshfs, which allows you to mount an ssh
location as a directory on your computer. Then it would effectively be
a local filesystem. I don't know if there's something like that on
Windows.
Of course, what do you mean when you say "web code to drive a desktop
app"? Do you mean you want to host some code that others can connect
to that will change? Or do you mean you want people to connect to your
server and it will run an app on your desktop?
For the former it's not really necessary to include the mod on another
computer. Just use the http libraries and download the file when the
script runs. Then import it.
HTH,
Wayne
